  3. Script Kiddies on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 1

    So how long would it be before some SK sends S. Hatch a nice email congratulating him on his fortitude while installing a trojan horse which down loads massive amounts of mp3s from Morpheus all the while consuming the "two warnings" thus triggering the bomb.

  5. Use ACE on Competitive Cross-Platform Development? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've developed several multi-threaded mulit-plateformed applications using ACE. This is a very well thought out package using various patterns to abstract the vulgarities of the different OS / compilers. ADAPTIVE Communication Environment

  10. Re:Wrong - this is a very good book. Read it. on Dot.Con · · Score: 2, Informative

    Uh, dude, if the author cannot get the facts straight on how the Altair was named and who invented the modem, then how am I to trust the rest of the book. Hell, the above can be checked in a manner of minutes (seconds?) using Google. I've got major problems with an author that cannot get his facts straight. The subject is to fresh not to get them correct. And yes, it does matter who invented the modem!

    I've used timothy's reviews before and have come to trust them. I've bought several books based on his reviews and steered clear of a few as well.

  11. Re:What's next... on Clear Hard Drive Mods · · Score: 3, Funny

    Clear cables. Damn the RF! I want to _see_ the bits moving between my monitor and the computer.

  12. Re:The slashdot precedent on Beta-Testers and Intellectual Property? · · Score: 1

    Objection!!! 76.999% of the comments were made by AC who obviously hate Bill Gates and all that he stands for. Further more, it's easier to have an IMac cluster of Natalie Portmans than a beowolf cluster....

  13. Big Server on (Almost) Free Movies On-Line... Sorta · · Score: 1

    They must have one hell-of-a server farm. Just went there and started streaming a movie. Figured by now they would have ben /.ed. Sunday may be a slow day for the effect ;-). Still, when I looked into doing this a couple of years ago, it was going to take some heavy iron to get the response times I was getting.

  14. Re:O well on (Almost) Free Movies On-Line... Sorta · · Score: 1

    I was just there. At 300k it's not bad. Not great, but not bad. What can you expect for a buck. They use RealNetwork though....

  17. Re:Both sides on Legality Of Linking To Be Tested In Court? · · Score: 1

    I'm truly interested on how merely pointing out where illegal activity is illegal. IANAL so I'm trying to understand the law. If I make a list of places which sell moonshine, my intent is relavent? So, if I make the site denoucing alcohol it's okay, but if I promote the site as a glutonous party site seeking the best way to get wasted it's illegal? (Assuming making moonshine is illegal which it is in the us.) Is that what you are saying? If so, why?

  18. Re:Both sides on Legality Of Linking To Be Tested In Court? · · Score: 1

    That makes no sense. If linking in itself is harmless then how can knowingly linking to an illegal site be any different. If I know of a place that makes moonshine and then tell people about it, does that make me an accessory? What about the people I tell who tell others? This is just plain silly. Next you're gonna tell me merely thinking of linking to a site is a crime. Double-plus good for you!

  21. I'm suprised on Amazon.com Receives Patent for 1-Click Shopping · · Score: 1

    none one has noticed that the USTPO is in direct violation of the patent. It is using a shopping cart to gather the patents to order AND using a cookie to identify me. Hmmm.
